I would not be allowed at the family Christmas party if I didn't make these. Super easy, inexpensive and delicious. Cut into small or large bars. The filling must be added to the hot crust – do not let the crust cool. Make sure to use a 9 inch pan (not an 8 inch). Also good when made with limes. Ingredients:
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 cups rice chex, crushed to 1/2 cup (use blender to crush easily) |
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
2 tablespoons flour |
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, from 2 large lemons |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 to 2 lemons) |
